The digital environment is a culture, a ‘place’, where people – all of us – spend a significant part of our lives. Not just a tool or a technology, ‘digital culture represents a fundamental change in the way we conceive of reality and consequently relate to ourselves, one another, our surroundings, and even to God’.[xii] So, it is having ‘a profound impact on ideas of time and space, on our self-understanding, our understanding of others and the world, and our ability to communicate, learn, be informed and enter into relationship with others.’[xiii]
This requires dramatically new forms of mission ‘to reach today’s culture in all spaces where people seek meaning and love, including the spaces they enter through their cell phones and tablets’.[xiv]
